Haiti will rise again

Since i left Haiti, nothing has changed so far. Over 4000 people have been killed by the Cholera epidemic. Haiti still the poorest country in the western hemisphere with 70 % of unemployment, thousands of Haitians are living in tent cities. The percentage of illiteracy in Haiti is very high, more than 65% of the population can't read and write and 90% of schools in the capital had been collapsed by the quake. Children are dying with malnutrition. The medical facilities are very scarce and the Haitians don't have clean water.

A new president was elected two months ago, his name is Michelle Joseph Martelly. A former musician of the famous Haitian musical rhythm called compas. Martelly became very popular on the political scene; the people believe he will change the situation of the country during his 5 year presidential term. During his campaign, he promised the country free education, medical care,job opportunities and homes.As of now, the president does not have a prime minister to run the country with. Martelly has been traveling to many countries since he got elected, he's devoted to getting the attention of the international community. He met the secretary of state Mrs Hilary Clinton, the king of Spain etc...
The presence of U.S. is so strong, the American government is still the biggest partner of Haiti, but I’m wondering why the U.S. government does not have a better plan for my country. People can see Mr Bill Clinton (U.N envoy to Haiti) as a big factor in the reconstruction of Haiti. The United Nations (UN) pledged to give Haiti $10 billion for reconstruction. I am wondering if Haiti will be given this money.
You may heard that over the last few months, two former Haitian presidents who had been in exile returned to Haiti. Jean Claude Duvalier alias Baby Doc and Jean Bertrand Aristide who are still popular across the country. Even if baby Doc had ran the country under a dictatorship, many people still love him and believe the living condition was better during the Duvalier regime. I have read an article about Aristide return, he said that he went back to Haiti in order to get involved in the education field and has no interest in politic. We know that Aristide has an immense popularity throughout the country especially in the slums; however, we will see his will toward this Caribbean nation. Politics is the main force that leads Haiti, it’s like everything is headed by that so called politics.
As I know my country fairly well, I am still advocated to playing my role as much as I can. If ever I get into politics tomorrow, I will not play that game “loving my people during campaign and turn my back to them in the office”. I hope President Martelly brings change that he promised. I hope he’s different from Preval who’s considered as one the most corrupted Haitian president within the last 20 years. Sometimes people used to call him ‘’The Dead President” because no matter what have happened to Haiti, Preval remained silent. He was like someone who could not face any situation to show the Haitians that he was for change. After the quake, Preval took many days to talk to the population, but it was still a crazy speech and he also called the U.N. and U.S. to stop the aid.

I am so glad to see how Martelly is close to the population. I hope he treats the Haitians with dignity and put good governance and economic system that could take the country onto development path. There is a lot to do Mr President, but it’s your turn because people voted for you!
Haiti will change one day and I believe it. I am for change and I will continue to get involved. Please contact if you want to get involved in the change of Haiti!

Days Away

I have not posted anything on my blog for awhile.I have been receiving a lot of phone calls and emails. People really want to know how the project goes, they also want to hear news about Haiti.

I left the country last year on November 22, I am now attending college in the States by the generosity of Dr James and Jane Ebel. They are the ones who hosted me when I came to America for surgery in 2005. They did not forget me while I was in Haiti over the last 5 years. They provided me money for food and education. The Ebels believe that if they help me to obtain an education, I will be able to help my family and my country as well. I had tried twice to get a student visa, but unfortunately I was denied. I did not give up because I believe I would overcome anything that could have been an obstacle for me.

I decided to apply for a nursing degree at Black Hawk college (BHC) after being called by Rita Ledbetter (current host family) to help my friend Moise Eldor with his BHC’s application. Finally, I have been granted an F1 visa to come to U.S. for my education and I am so grateful for this opportunity. I have already completed a semester in the English as Second Language program and I am going to take a second semester which will be also my last semester in that program, then I will be taking nursing classes in spring 2012. It’s hard to leave family and friends behind, but I have to do it because they count on me. Despite I am now living in the U.S., but the project is not stopped. My older Jones brother keeps up the work.

Like I said, it’s hard to leave people you know behind. It's hard for me to leave the children in my neighborhood that I am struggling for to have education, clean water, food and medical care; but they count on me every single day. I have been through poverty and I know what it means. I miss Haiti a lot and I will eventually return to help my beloved country.

""Please get involved to facilitate those children to go school.Education is still the biggest door that someone should open to get a better life.Haiti is having a very big problem of education.The majority of the population is illiterate because they never have possibility to go into a class room.When you think about Haiti please think about the situation of the children because they are the future of the country.
Another thing is that someone is buying some internet equipments for them.A friend of mine has been thinking about my neighborhood and offered the kids possibility to connect with the world and be updated.However, a internet room will be available for the kids.Please pray an help!""

Community Development

It's been almost 7 months after the terrible quake that hit Haiti.The international community and the Haitian government have been saying that they are working to help Haiti rise again. The International community is an important actor in this issue because it is the one that promised to give the money. I am wondering about the kind of economic and development system this poor nation needs because there is any good sign until now.

Do we need a system to rebuild republic of Port-au-Prince?

Do we need a Port-au-Prince with bunches of tent cities?

Do we need a system that excludes the people from the slums?

Do we need a system that excludes the youth?

Do we need a system that keeps a group of Haitians as modern slaves by receiving $ 5 US dollars a day as minimum wage?

Do we need a system that does not going to protect the people in Bainet (Southeast Haiti) who are exposed to flood that might be causing by the ocean?

Do we need a system that does not offer any possibility to help the farmers, by killing our agriculture?

Do we need a system that does not help every Haitian to be creative?

Do we need a system that does not going to build any school?

Haiti needs another system.This a new a depart for the Caribbean nation but we are starting badly. It seems we are rebuilding republic of Port-au-Prince instead of rebuilding the whole nation by developing every part of it.Haiti needs its people to be creative for the advancement of a new nation.We need millions but how do we organize the millions? The development of this country cannot be made with this rate of illiterate people. Neglecting the aspect of education in this country is a big threat for the future.

Haiti needs a system that organizes the people from the bottom to the top. Offering the youth opportunity to be creative. Helping everyone to have a voice.

We must go over another plan, deny the unsuccessful and crazy political game. Haiti does not need any imperialism system, however, It has been driving the country poorly, but there was no realization to come up with a better life for today and tomorrow. Are we going to make the same mistake?

The country does not need people who are coming and put their own will.The country does not need any come and go experts. The millions does not need to be used to accommodate people and buy fancy cars. Haiti needs a creative environment.

Haiti will rise to be a good nation!
